Open Theism? This is a term that I was not familiar with so I thought I would take a look at it.
I can see "if the definition in the next post's article is an accurate description" of what open theism actually is - I can see where this concept would bother those that think God doesn't give us a free will to chose Christ's salvation or not and thus it would be "heretical" to them because it would "conflict" with what they believe.
Of course then we "feel" we are allowed to insult and de-mean those that have a different view - so let's not start that work of the flesh in this thread and have a decent and respectful discussion so that we can see what is "exactly being said without the malice and slandering.
Let's see exactly what it is from the horse's mouth themselves so that we can take an "honest" look at what is being said. I have found that sometimes things can be mis-represented and twisted and also they are just plain mis-understood and also sometimes people just plain dis-agree even when things are presented in an open and honest way.
And that is ok. Paul says "none of us know all things in the way we ought to know them".
I'll do some research today to look at this "open theism" concept but for now here is a definition. Is this accurate for those that actually do know what "open theism" is?
I will post the definition in the next post. Let's respect each other here now in the body of Christ because we all need each other.
